Chapter 76: Chapter 76 United Combat (Part 2)
Translator: 549690339
The joint attack is not over yet.
The moment the three bullets pierced the ghost’s body, a ray of Holy Light descended, enveloping the ghost’s entire body.
It’s a combined assault of Holy Light, flames and silver bullets targeting vital parts of the body.
The screams echoed within the building.
In an instant, all that was left was a pile of charred white cloth scraps.
All this was achieved jointly by Cass, Koslin and Sophia, while Han Dong didn’t lift a finger… Because Han Dong felt that these attacks were already sufficient, and he had sensed a faint whiff of something unusual.
During the battle, Han Dong had a constant feeling that someone was peering at his team from some dark corner.
“Is it dead?”
“No… there’s something still watching us from the shadows. Everyone, be on guard.” As soon as Han Dong spoke, everyone continued to stay on high alert.
Standing alone in the second-floor corridor, Cass quickly took off his burning silver armor, extinguished the flames, and put it on again.
It had been a close call. If he hadn’t anticipated their opponent’s plant attribute and prepared a ‘Molotov cocktail’, the outcome would have been unthinkable.
While Cass was putting on his armor again, a glimpse out of the corner of his eyes revealed something at Sophia’s location… slender plant vines were continuously growing between the floorboards.
“Fiya! The floor!”
As Cass shouted, the plants grew rapidly.
Obviously, the ‘thing’ hidden in this building had a well-developed consciousness.
Based on the situation where the ghost was just killed, it judged that Sophia posed the highest threat and needed to be eliminated first.
Sophia was positioned between Koslin and Han Dong, with a distance of two meters between them both.
But facing the plants that suddenly grew out from between the floorboards, Koslin responded extremely quickly.
He put away his weapon and drew out the Holy Water.
Clink!
A bottle of Holy Water was thrown over.
Who would have thought that the Holy Water, when sprinkled over these plants, would have no effect at all?
This indirectly confirmed that these manipulated plants did not incorporate any evil properties, they were just some common plants under control.
Similarly, it indicated that Sophia’s Holy Light magic would be ineffective against these plants… With her power, she was unable to break free from the binds of the vines.
There was even less chance of throwing a Molotov cocktail in this situation. Unlike Cass, who was wearing armor, the fire would severely burn Sophia.
At such a distance, Cass couldn’t make it there in time either.
Creak, creak!
The rapidly-growing plant vines had already coiled around Sophia’s legs.
Even though she pulled out a finely-crafted small dagger and cut a few vines, it was no help at all… the severed vines would still continue to grow.
Unknowingly, Sophia was skillfully ‘bound’ by the vines, unable to move at all.
At the same time, a piece of white cloth had appeared between the floorboards, indicating that a ghost was about to appear! The situation was extremely critical.
While the three members of their team were panicked and couldn’t think of a solution.
Han Dong silently watched the scene, he had simulated multiple rescue methods in his mind, but all of them had the potential to harm Sophia.
There was only one method that wouldn’t result in any harm.
In the prison cell.
The woman in red standing facing the wall suddenly vanished.
“Miss Chen Li, I’m counting on you.”
An extraordinary evil aura appeared in the hall.
Whoosh!
The shadows of their blades overlapped, precisely cutting the vines wrapped around Sophia.
Beneath the black hair, a pair of horrifying red eyes met Sophia’s gaze, scaring her so much she retreated… conveniently moving out of the range of the plants’ binds.
Immediately after, the red-eyed woman’s gaze turned to the floor.
A pale arm emitting a demonic aura stretched out rapidly, grabbing the eerie white cloth on the ground.
Using brute force, the ‘ghost’ was dragged out in its entirety.
This was followed by a series of chaotic sword strokes with no particular technique.
The kitchen knife imbued with a demonic aura frenziedly cut through the body of the ghost. The plant branches, like tentacles, were all ‘sliced and minced’… Chen Li alone killed the ghost.
And, just like Han Dong, Chen Li was not affected by the contamination.
Staring at the second dead ghost, Han Dong realized something… some polluting source hidden in Baker House was secretly controlling the ghosts.
“Hurry to the backyard… Since the appearance of the mansion returns to normal at nightfall, the backyard might also have reverted back to its original state!”
When Han Dong shouted out these words.
Apart from Cass making a move, both Koslin and Sophia were a little dazed.
They stared at the terror-stricken woman in red, holding a kitchen knife, her black hair dishevelled. Not knowing her origins, they felt somewhat fearful.
Cass quickly explained, “This is the powerful summoned creature of Andwa’s friend that I mentioned earlier! Hurry up… Andwa is right.
If the opponent can manipulate ordinary plants, there is a good chance that the main body is in the backyard!”
“Hmm…”
Sophia, who had been rescued, slowly regained her senses and her gaze shifted from the woman in red to Han Dong. Biting her lip slightly, she nodded her thanks.
The four gathered and prepared to leave through the main entrance and head towards the backyard.
However… BOOM!
With a loud noise, the heavy wooden door of the big house slammed closed, and large amounts of plant vines sprouted from the door seams to reinforce the door.
At the same time, another ghost appeared in the corner of the hall.
Just as everyone was preparing for battle, Cass wore an angry face.
The reason for his anger was that the enemy had attacked the vulnerable women in the team directly.
If it weren’t for Han Dong’s ability, Fiya would probably be seriously injured by now.
Decisively, Cass pulled out a Molotov Cocktail and smashed it heavily on the front door.
Once the fire spread and burned away a part of the plants on the door…Cass concentrated his strength on his legs and left arm.
Lowering his center of gravity.
“Brute Force” + “Shield Bash”.
There was a huge bang.
Wood fragments and charred plant vines spattered everywhere.
The fact that he could forcibly break open the door, which was three meters high and heavily made, by himself showed just how strong Cass was physically.
Just like this, the squad smoothly left the big house and rushed towards the backyard.
The speculation was not wrong.
In the center of the originally weed-infested backyard, a giant banyan tree appeared… Its massive size even occupied the entire backyard, with part of the trunk connected to the big house.
At the bottom of this huge tree, there was a small tree hollow that could allow one person to enter.
To eradicate the ghosts lingering in the Baker House root and branch, it seemed necessary to go deep into the tree hollow and kill the real pollutant.
Clang!
Koslin directly grabbed a Molotov Cocktail and threw it over, hoping to burn down this big tree directly with a fire.
Naturally, things wouldn’t be so simple. The flame could only burn off the shallow bark and couldn’t spread on the surface of the big tree… It quickly extinguished by itself.
The white ghost drifted out from the front door of the big house, not giving everyone too much thinking time.
A decision had to be made immediately.
“Andwa’s friend, leave the rest to us!
We three have had many cooperations. Now that we’ve ascertained that the body of the enemy is inside this tree, let us go in… You stay outside and clean up the chasing ghosts.”
Since Han Dong’s summoned creature could deal with ghosts, he was left behind.
Under the blessing of Fiya’s holy light, Cass was confident that he could defeat the source of the infection inside, and then Koslin would set fire from the inside to completely burn this strange tree.
“Alright… Be careful.”
“Yes, rest assured! The opponent just developed one more polluting attribute, in terms of difficulty, it’s nothing compared to what’s inside the Fate Space.” The three of Cass quickly entered the tree hollow.
Han Dong and Miss Chen Li stood still, staring at the ghost floating in front of them, unmoving.
“Shall I move?” Chen Li asked.
“No… I can handle it.”
The ghost simply floated in front of Han Dong.
It freely extended its soft-rooted fingers to fumble Han Dong’s body, let out terrifying screams, and even lifted its white cloth to reveal a disgusting face full of eyes.
Han Dong didn’t move at all and just shrugged helplessly.
Slap!
Han Dong reached out and grabbed the head of the female ghost.
A thick, spotted tentacle quickly penetrated deep inside the skull.
Gurgle! It seemed to be absorbing the ‘brain essence’.
This time, however, things were a bit different… What was being absorbed was not only energy, but also a bit of memory and cell essence..
